Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the difference between Minimum Alternative Tax (MAT) and Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). MAT at 15% applies to companies from AY 2020-21 onwards on book profits. AMT, at 18%, is for individual assessees when certain deductions exceed £20 lakh, otherwise, it doesn't apply.
On individual assessee AMT is applicable not MAT. AMT @ 18% if net income before 10AA; 35AD And deduction under chapter VI is more than 20 lakh. If your income is less than 20, don't worry AMT won't applicable on you.
